The first step for buying a home is to connect with us! We can refer you to a lender that fits your needs to determine your budget and get pre-approved. If you’ve already gotten pre-approved with a lender, we can help you start searching for homes and schedule any showings.

Most lenders require 30 – 45 days once an offer is accepted to close on the purchase. Below is a sample timeline:

1. Preparing and Planning: 2-4 weeks
2. Home Search: 1-8 weeks
3. Making an Offer and Negotiating: 1 week
4. Home Inspection and Appraisal: 2-3 weeks
5. Finalizing Financing and Mortgage Approval: 2-4 weeks
6. Closing the Deal: 1-2 weeks

Keep in mind that these timelines can vary. We are here to guide you through the process to best fit your needs.

A mortgage lender will be able to give you an accurate picture based on your personal finances and credit. In general, you should expect to put additional money outside of the purchase price towards closing costs, loan fees, the home inspection, appraisal, and any moving expenses.
